Symptomatic Response to Antibiotics in Patients With Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

Antibiotics appear to be efficacious in treating SIBO, although small sample sizes and poor data quality limit this interpretation. Symptomatic response rates also appear to be higher in IBS patients with SIBO. This may be the first example of precision medicine in IBS as opposed to our current empiric treatment approach. Large-multicenter studies are needed to verify the results.

Comparison of 1-day versus 3-day intravenous terlipressin in cirrhosis patients with variceal bleeding: A pilot randomised controlled trial.

Our results suggest that 1 day of terlipressin therapy is associated with similar 5-day and 42-day rebleeding rates, 42-day mortality and an overall superior safety profile compared with 3-day of terlipressin therapy. These findings require to be validated in double-blinded, larger, multiethnic and multicentre studies across the various stages of cirrhosis (CTRI/2019/10/021771).

Randomized trial of patient outreach approaches to de-implement outdated colonoscopy surveillance intervals.

Also, more patients adopted the 10-year surveillance interval in the telephone (37.0%) and secure messaging arms (32.0%) compared to mailed letter (18.9%) and rate differences were significant for telephone (18.1%; 97.5% CI: 8.3%, 27.9%) and secure message outreach (13.1%; 97.5% CI: 3.5%, 22.7%) versus mailed letter outreach. Telephone and secure messaging were more effective than mailed letter outreach for de-implementing outdated colonoscopy surveillance recommendations among individuals with a history of low-risk adenomas in an integrated healthcare setting.

Automated artificial intelligence-based phase recognition system for esophageal endoscopic submucosal dissection (with video).

We demonstrated that an AI-based automated phase recognition system for esophageal ESD can be established with high accuracy. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on automated recognition of ESD treatment phases. Since this system enabled a detailed analysis of phases, collecting large volumes of data in the future may help identify quality indicators for treatment techniques and uncover unmet medical needs that necessitate the creation of new treatment methods and devices.

Unveiling 8 years of duodenoscope contamination: insights from a retrospective analysis in a large tertiary care hospital.

Duodenoscope contamination remains a significant problem, with high contamination rates despite several interventions. Reprocessing the biopsy and suction channels is especially challenging. Changes in the design of reusable duodenoscopes, such as enabling sterilisation or easily replaceable channels, are necessary to facilitate effective duodenoscope reprocessing and to eliminate the risk of duodenoscope-associated infections.

Ileitis promotes MASLD progression via bile acid modulation and enhanced TGR5 signaling in ileal CD8+ T cells.

MASLD-induced changes in intestinal flora result in elevated levels of SBA in the ileum. In the presence of compromised intestinal barrier, this leads to severe CD8 + T cell-mediated ileitis through the TGR5/mTOR/OXPHOS signaling pathway. Ileitis-induced tissue damage impairs enterohepatic circulation, inhibits hepatic FXR activation, and exacerbates the MASLD phenotype. Impact and implications Our study provides a comprehensive investigation of the interplay and underlying mechanisms connecting ileitis and MASLD. SBA produced by intestinal bacteria, as the critical link between MASLD and ileitis. This compound exerts its influence by disrupting liver lipid metabolism through the promotion of CD8 + T cell-mediated ileitis. In future endeavors to prevent and treat MASLD, it is essential to thoroughly account for the impact of the intestinal tract, especially the ileum, on liver function via the enterohepatic circulation.

Single-cell and spatial transcriptomics characterisation of the immunological landscape in the healthy and PSC human liver.

We present a comprehensive atlas of the PSC liver and demonstrate hyper-activation and exhaustion-like phenotypes of myeloid cells and markers of chronic cytokine expression in late-stage PSC lesions. This atlas has the potential to expand our understanding of the cellular complexity of PSC and to inform novel treatment development. Impact and implications Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a rare liver disease characterized by chronic inflammation and irreparable damage to the bile ducts resulting in liver failure. Due to a limited understanding of the underlying pathogenesis of disease, there remains a paucity of treatment options. We sequenced healthy and diseased livers to compare the activity, interactions, and localization of immune and non-immune cells. This revealed that hepatocytes lining PSC scar regions are transforming into cholangiocytes, whereas immune cells are accumulating within the scars. Of these cells, macrophages, which typically contribute to tissue repair, were enriched in immunoregulatory genes and demonstrated a lack of responsiveness to stimulation. These cells may be involved in maintaining hepatic inflammation and could be targeted in novel therapeutic drug development.
